I don't know what event planning costs but running an event for ~10k people that includes flights, hotels, food, event space, etc. is expensive I guess.

Describing it as a “party” feels misleading. It was a company-wide offsite for an essentially fully remote organization.

Was it necessary? Probably not. But I found the in-person time valuable, especially with teammates I’d never met face to face.

There are a few companies that you might know of that use it, like https://block.xyz/ and https://abc.xyz/

Firebase is owned and operated by Google (has been for a while).

Is there a way to find out where the nearest one is?

Yes, but Jack isn’t a micromanager.

Do people actually like the air train? I've never heard anyone say they'd prefer it over a subway that actually went to JFK. (and the increased cost/inability to use OMNY is ridiculous)

Can you provide some more details about what you needed to do to set up your RX100 III? I have the same camera and would love to do the same.

Which platform? Here's one on iOS: https://twitter.com/NoelDavila/status/1458134578544185346

From https://www.digitaltrends.com/computing/microsoft-surface-la...:

The Surface Laptop Studio starts at $1,600 in its base configuration, which includes a Core i5 processor, 8GB of RAM, 256GB of SSD storage, and integrated graphics. Pre-orders start today, with a launch next week to line up with the release of Windows 11.

Seems like pretty low specs for that price point, no?

Is this true? I've never heard that before. (But makes sense)

Software Engineer, Bachelor of Science in Computer Science, 4 Years of Experience, $800,000 Total Compensation.

Do you have a link to where you bought the RAM? Having trouble finding a 64GB kit.

Pez?

Interesting that the Digital Wellbeing features that were teased at IO aren't being launched today, but part of _another_ beta that you have to opt in to. (And Pixel series only?)

Where are you finding constructed events for $5 in NYC? Most places I know of are at least double that.

There's a sample you can download and run on compatible hardware: https://github.com/google-ar/arcore-android-sdk/tree/master/...

new ML system in Oreo

Do you mean Tensorflow Lite? That's not part of Oreo, so shouldn't be something people have to wait 2 years for.

Simply unbelievable how much garbage is on that web page without an ad blocker (I put a box around the actual content that appears without having to scroll): http://i.imgur.com/0S2FIAW.png

I don't know for sure, (https://jcp.org/en/participation/committee shows they were in 2013) but I suspect Oracle v Google might be the reason?

Here's a link to the talk from 33c3 - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fAtWwadP6CY

Sounds like the CEO isn't. From the article: "Atlanta-based Yik Yak’s Chief Executive Officer Tyler Droll will not join Square"

I don't think OP is ignorant of that fact - because they work at Slack.

In the Readme you mentioned that you rip the games yourself - what hardware do you use for that?

Yesterday was the 11th anniversary of the first Tweet: https://twitter.com/jack/status/20

But then I have to use their crappy keyboard, which doesn't have all the features of the Google one.

I tried it with the USB-C multiport adapter from my MacBook 12 and it didn't work.

Couldn't disagree more. The Tools team has made huge progress - the new emulator is so much better than the old one, ConstraintLayout is a huge upgrade for using the layout editor, and there's a huge push to fix performance with the Gradle plugin.

My main complaints are - 1) The updates for GPS versions have been quite bad recently. 2) Can't run VirtualBox and Haxm on the same machine.

I actually took those paddles off for the same reason! Don't forget that you can remove them :)
